Living in Snowdonia is great. Well, it was until the police and NRW got in touch last night and suggested we evacuate our home due to the possibility of a landslide wiping it out!
Apparently there are severe ground cracks after Ciara last week and the ground is severely unstable and we are on the 'flight path', albeit on the very perimeter of their worst case scenario modelling.
The rain has just started and is set in for several days.
My wife is petrified and my kids are excited about staying in an hotel.
People above us are staying put apparently! Madness in my opinion but their choice.
Fingers crossed and everything else!
Stay safe people.

Hyper caution I think? Better safe than sorry though!

Ohh. That doesn’t sound good.

Do you have time to hire a van and/ or drive to a storage facility with all the sentimental stuff?

This is PH. There will be somone nearby on here who will help. It’s that kind of forum (at least it used to be).

To be fair I'm currently not that stressed about it. Regarding sentimental stuff, I'd need Pickfords! My wife is very sentimental and thus the house is full of it!
The house has stood since the late 17th century and has only been flooded once in that time so the odds are in our favour.

I've just walked the forest tracks above us with a neighbour and there has been some serious landslides as a result of Ciara last weekend. However, the water has cut ravines down to the rock head and it appears that what could move did its moving last week. Behind us is is at least 200m of deciduous forest at various grades including level areas with positive streams already cut on natural gravity routes. It is absolutely cats and dogs so we're sitting tight until later this afternoon. Truck packed for the off!
